i was actually worried they were too long cuz you have to remember i only weigh 115 plus it is a pretty big jump from 159 to 174. but does anyone know how soft or stiff these are in comp to the p.e.

no with a 174 the stiffness should be perfect for you with your weight

Softer than the PE and centremounted they will ski a bit shorter.

Really depends how strong of a skier you are, but I think if you start eating a bit more then they will be fine.

Except volkl walls.  Thats a great deal, so even if they're a bit short, go for it.

He's on 159 right now, so a 174 would be a world of difference and good enough considering he's only 115 lbs.

for $130 you can't go wrong really. Perfect size for your weight and considering the jump. I think you will enjoy them more because the PE is a stiff ski, let alone at your weight.

B_Hubbell may have too pairs of skis for sale, plus he is in your area.
hit him up.
volkl walls and line chronics, i believe.
he will probably let them go for an agreeable price.

They're a soild ski. They ride alot softer than PE's but that shouldnt be a problem where your only 115. The scrtaches arent quite as lively but at the same time they're more playful than Pe's. I'm 5'10 and thought the 174's at center rode relatively short. But it'll probably be a decent jump for you if you were on 159's before. I'd look at somethin 178-180s but thats all personal opinion

i hear they are good skis, i bet if you keep your eyes out you might find a better deal on some nicer skis. but if not those would be good for you
